The elf shell library is the binary manipulation library of the elf shell. it contains primitives for static on-disk modifications and consultation of binary programs linked within the executable & linking format (elf) 32bits or 64bits.

the main features of the elf shell library are :

* full api for all elf structures.
* et_rel injection into et_exec/et_dyn elf files.
* altgot redirection technique, for external functions redirections on risc
architectures.
* altplt redirection technique, for external functions redirections.
* cflow redirection technique, for internal functions redirections.
* extplt partial relinking technique, for adding unknown extern symbols to
the program.
* extstatic static file relinking technique.
* partial sht reconstruction technique.
* pax protection attributes access in rw mode.
* core files manipulation.
this package contains the development files provided by elfsh (the static library - i.e the .a file - and the elfsh headers).
